CHAPTER 17
Darius rode the elevator back to the top floor. On one hand, he hoped Alannah had gone to bed, giving both of them a chance to cool off, think first before they did something impulsive. On the other hand, he wanted her awake, standing by the front door while holding out a glass of wine and a seductive expression on her face.
Dionne hadn’t been happy about being dumped, not even a little. The first ten minutes of their encounter had consisted of him telling her why it wasn’t ever going to work. The next hour had been torture listening to her rant about what a jerk he was.
If he hadn’t been feeling so guilty about his ever-growing desire for Alannah, he would’ve never allowed Dionne to vent that long. He would’ve coolly gotten to his feet and walked out the door.

Her eyes moved down his now completely naked torso and widened at the sight of his huge erection. Her look made him throb, need burning through him. Darius watched as her small fingers clenched at her sides, as if she was fighting the desire to reach out and touch him. Darius wanted those fingers clenched around his most sensitive manhood, wanted it more than he’d ever wanted anything. He needed the pleasure her grip would bring him.“Do you like what you see, darling? A few words and the hunger burning through you will be sated… over and over again… all night long,” Darius promised as he moved up to her again. His body was twisting so his arousal was touching her hip, close to where her hand was clenched. She moaned again as his naked body came in contact with her, th

“You have one week, baby...”“What?” Alannah mumbled as she woke up and stretched her sore muscles. She felt aches in places she didn’t know possible to feel pain. She’d lost track of the number of times Darius had woken her during the night with his hands sliding over her body. They made love once more in the night, though after that he’d continued to use his hands and mouth to do things to her she hadn’t known were possible. A shudder racked her as Alannah remembered her last orgasm. She’d literally blacked out afterward. The man knew his way around a woman's body.“I called the board and told them everything’s on hold for one week so I can take you exploring,” Darius replied. Alannah looked at him in awe. Was thi

Darius lay there and watched the sunlight sneak through the mostly closed blinds. It was too early for Alannah to wake considering they hadn’t fallen asleep until the early hours of the morning for the second day in a row. He couldn’t seem to take his eyes off her. She was stunning, and he found himself enjoying their time together. The need to let her tour the island had started out of guilt for taking her virginity, especially so roughly. But as he’d spent the day with her, his guilt had ended and Darius found himself enjoying her company. Alannah had such childlike wonder over everything she saw, causing him to see it for the first time through her eyes. He’d had this image in his mind of her, and she was smashing that visual to pieces. Alannah wasn’t at all who Darius had expected her to be. &nb
GIVE ME EVERYTHING CHAPTER 21
The last few days they spent together were absolutely perfect and Alannah couldn’t feel happier and at ease in his company. But she was sensing a change in their relationship… It was shifting in a direction that was both exciting and confusing. Darius was behaving like a perfect gentleman during the daytime, showing her around during the day, indulging her every single desire, listening to her every request, and anticipating her every thought. And what she was experiencing next to him was so unique, so wonderful… And the nighttime… Well, that was the moment she preferred the most… Being with him, feeling his body next to hers, on top of hers… Making love to him was something out of this world. She didn’t have experience but the way he was making her feel&hellip

Darius awoke and stretched, feeling good. The week had been a whirlwind of activities, but he’d found himself having some long overdue fun. He tried telling himself it was nothing more than fun, but as he’d spent every hour of every day with Alannah, he’d found himself needing to be with her. He’d forced himself to tone it down a little, but he couldn’t pull fully away. At least not yet, he couldn’t. He didn’t know how the two of them were surviving on so little sleep. They hadn’t yet made it through an entire night without waking at least once to make love again. Twice last night, he’d woken with an urgent need to take her, to lose himself in her warmth… The first time, she’d been just as hungry, and they’d come together quickly, a tangle of arms and legs. The second time had been more leisurely, both of

His gut was churning in anticipation. Darius was on his way to Camryn Jackson’s house. He didn’t tell Alannah he was arriving in Seattle. He wanted to see her face, know what thoughts were going on inside her head. Darius hadn’t spoken to her in almost two weeks, unable to leave Australia before now. But two weeks had done nothing to cure his desire for her. He wanted her now more than ever before. Fury and passion intensified inside him, each feeling trying to topple the other. He’d made the deal with her father, giving the man large sums of money in exchange for her being his… employee. It had obviously turned into more than an employer/employee relationship, which made him even angrier. He’d never had a woman walk out on him before and he didn’t like it one litt

“Let’s go out back to others,” Owen said as he grabbed his own bottle of beer and moved toward the den’s door. Darius didn’t hesitate. He followed behind his cousin, and then realized he hadn’t asked one single question of any of the Jacksons. How was he supposed to get information if he wasn’t even thinking about interrogation? The only person he seemed to want to interrogate was Alannah. He vowed to himself he’d just make sure she was really there, then he’d focus on his ‘family’. As they neared the back of the house, delicious aromas started drifting through the room. Darius’s stomach rumbled loudly at the smells surrounding him.“You picked a good day to show up,” Daniel said.“Yeah… The weather’s good, and we’re getting

The silence was stifling as Darius pulled out of Cam’s driveway. He had to get her alone. Darius felt like if he didn’t get her into his bed again, he’d explode. He didn’t need her. He’d proven that. He could easily insert himself into the lives of the Jacksons without suspicion. Hell, there was a fundraiser event coming up shortly he’d be attending with them. He’d already made contact, so he could drop Alannah off at home, and then drive away. No harm done. Except, Darius knew that wasn’t true. Even the thought of leaving her with that man who called himself her father caused an ache in Darius’s chest. He couldn’t do it. He tried telling himself it was because she still had a job to do for him, but he knew better.&nbs
